no, you fucking...

i don't want socialism because i care about other people. i want socialism because i don't care about other people. explicitly. precisely.

i'm not a fucking christian.

i've been over this too often. it drives me nuts. it's just that it warps the conversation. if you could peel back the layers of brainwashing, you'd realize you're probably more of a socialist than you realize.

well, unless you're an asshole. don't get me wrong: there's lots of assholes out there that are all about dominance and competition and hierarchy. but, it's a minority.

trying to find a way to separate socialism from christianity really needs to be the primary goal of the left, at this point. it's not about christian aid work. it's not about charity. it's about positive freedom.
